***The production is very cool and interesting and impressive but is not enough to save this from being a 2. Don't mind Jason's parts but 2 Chainz's part is awful. Some of the lyrics in 2 Chainz's verse are extremely disgusting and cringeworthy. Would be 3 stars possibly 4 stars without the awful 2 Chainz.

Hopefully a version without 2 Chainz is released.

EDIT: Okay, so 2 stars was a bit harsh. But I still wish 2 Chainz didn't existLast edited: 11/08/2013 02:33

****Well, 'The Other Side' was around about his most generic song yet, with seemingly nothing interesting about it at all. But I'm surprised! This approach isn't exactly subtle but it's another case of 'Blurred Lines' where the production is so classy that it doesn't even matter (although I'll admit this achieves this to a lesser degree). I feel that Chainy adds to the track even though he perhaps could have had a longer verse; by the time he gets going it's over. This will be an interesting song to follow.

****Derulo really must love the Balkans; this is his second Balkan-influenced song after Breathing. I won't complain because this sound appeals to me, but it does sound like something that Serbia would enter in Eurovision.

***In a callback to his opus "Birthday Song", 2 Chainz rhymes 'big booty' with 'big booty'. Otherwise it's nice that this isn't the same typical sort of thing. Perhaps on the whole we're making progre...oh wait Flo Rida released a song with Pitbull about ass, nevermind. 3.5

*****This is probably the best song Jason Derulo has released since "Whatcha Say". It's great to see him doing something that isn't the same old generic sounding dance-pop. I do agree with the majority of the previous reviewers, I would love to hear this without 2 Chainz. 4.5*

****OMG shame I am beginning to really like this. It's damn addictive. Probably his best track for me.

2 Chainz really sucks though, his verse makes no sense besides random references to sex with profane language, it really doesn't belong in the song and really bring this down. Last edited: 12/12/2014 10:33
